    First Magazine coverage from TX2K7

    Possible reasons: 1. Mk IV owners have alot more money to play with than MKIII owners (look at the price of the car alone). 2. There is alot more aftermarket parts and tech available for the MKIV (see reason one). 3. Seems like MKIII people don't even want to participate in a meet where...

    dipstick length? please.

    Appreciate that, let me know but, I still need to know how long the dip stick is. Anybody?

    dipstick length? please.

    I'd sure appreciate it if someone knows how long, or could measure their dipstick and tell me the length of the damn thing. I busted mine accidentally (where it's pop rivited to the little grab handle) last night, and set it on the curb in front of my house. I forgot to take it into the...

    lowering ?s

    Almost right! :icon_bigg When you cut a coil off of a spring you increase the springs rate. Let's take a linear wound spring for example. I you have a 400lb linear wound spring with 8 active coils (active coils are all but the top and bottom coils that are wound and ground flat, in...

    Exhaust header wrap on the downpipe?

    Yeah, I think that probably makes the most sense.

    lowering ?s

    It will vary a little depending on the spring (which is why I said to start off with 1/2 coil cut. But the general rule of thumb is: 1.5 to 1, in other words, if you cut off 1" of spring it will lower the car by approximately 1.5". I have found this to be pretty accurate but again, it will vary...

    700R4, Doesnt anyone like overdrive?

    I hate to poke my nose into what's turning into a pretty angry thread but, for what kinda horsepower we were originally talking about here (400 or so) I can personally attest to the fact that a well built a340e, will hold up just fine. No, you can't build a trans brake into it, but come on...

    rack and pinion questions

    Damn it! I was afraid the answer was going to be something like that! Is it a huge improvement? (never driven a MKIII but my own).

    Exhaust header wrap on the downpipe?

    ...and I notice top fuel dragsters and funny cars run the "wrap" and I would think $'s would be no obstacle to those guys.

    Got Wing?

    I'd love to see a pic of it once you've molded it in, but I think it actually looks ok the way it is.

    rack and pinion questions

    I hope this isn't too far off track on this thread but, how much of a difference does the newer progressive p/steering rack make? Is it better? worse? indifferent? I have a an 87 so I have the old steering and was wondering if it's worth it to upgrade.

    I need a new headunit!

    Does anyone know of a amp/pre-ammp only (no cd, am/fm etc)? I just want to run Xm and Ipod, so I want something that is strictly amplification and nothing else.

    tranny limits

    That's alot of freakin hp! We're talking NASCAR hp almost. I think at that point I'd look at doing an M22 muncie conversion, w/custom gear ratio's. I don't think many other tranny's would hold up for any amount of time.

    Got Wing?

    What make of wing is that? Must be aftermarket right? Where'd you get it? Looks pretty tight.:icon_bigg

    lowering ?s

    Here's what I found: Intrax springs are way higher than what most people want. I had some, I know. They are not going to settle in very much. Ok, here's the part that I'm going to be flamed for, I don't care what anybody tells you this is the truth, cause I've done it, and ran it this...

    Heat Heat

    The undercover is a very important and grossly overlooked component. While it might not noticeably affect the temperature levels in cooler climates, it does have an effect on how air flows in and around your engine compartment. It's relationship to engine operating temperatures becomes...

    What would you pay for this Supra? 56k..No Way

    I wouldn't sell that car for $6k and honestly I doubt anyone would. It's like I said, the price is going up. Like Bob Dylan says "the times they are a changin". Decent Supras are getting rarer and rarer. Those of us that own good examples of this model are realizing (slowly in some cases) that...
